I recently noticed that the Mac GUI contains a way to do block selection- so you can select just the code you want to copy and exclude the prompts. Just hold down the option key and the text cursor will turn into a crosshair which allows you to exclude the prompt column while you select. Even better, this behavior is somewhat universal as it works in other applications such as the Terminal. I find it particularly useful for copying code out of Vim without getting Vim's line numbers wrapped up in my selections. -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/productivity-tools-in-R--tp24293454p24326917.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
